Watch Bundy explain how we need to keep things from going backwards for blacks, and how the Federal government has created a neo-slave class via entitlement dependency that is so bad it is arguably worse than plantation slavery was. It is 100% clear that Cliven Bundy is not saying that blacks should be slaves picking cotton, but that the Federal government has created conditions for them so terrible, that their current situation may actually be worse. (If you are person of low intelligence, the fact that that is his point might be too hard for you to understand.) And hes not blaming blacks for the issues of abortions, and crime and broken families, hes blaming the Feds. This is the exact opposite of a racist, this is an advocate for the welfare and best interests of blacks. And just as importantly, youll at the end of the video he gives passionate praise and defense of hispanic illegal aliens, lauding them for better family structures than most white peoples Racist? Why is he praising Mexicans as better than whites, if hes some sort of white supremacist racist?. Take a hike all you lying, character-assassinating, leftist pieces of dog shit.

H/T Velvet Hammer VIA IRONIC SURREALISM

Now watch the edited version of Bundys remarks as promoted by the left-wing Media Matters and as reported in the NY Times:

“A Harley rider is riding by the zoo in Washington, DC when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion’s cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.

The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch.

Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly.
A reporter has watched the whole event. The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, ‘Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I’ve seen a man do in my whole life.’

The Harley rider replies, ‘Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted as I felt right.’

The reporter says, ‘Well, I’ll make sure this won’t go unnoticed. I’m a journalist, and tomorrow’s paper will have this story on the front page...
So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?’

The biker replies, ‘I’m a U.S. Marine and a Republican.’

The journalist leaves.

The following morning the biker buys the paper to see news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:

> Not only the M S M ,but the liberals here on FR ,who have
> fallen for the NYT’s doctoring of the interview.

I learned a long time ago that the MSM, and especially rags like the NYT and the ABC/CBS/NBC/CNN statist propaganda outlets, cannot be trusted at all. Not a whit. They NEVER tell the whole story, but only those parts that will pander to their base.

The real problem is getting this information into the MSM. You wont. They will spike it with extreme prejudice.

I agree with that. Hannity is the most consistently conservative radio/tv personality with a large audience.

He came out yesterday against the "racist remarks", but even his 10pm show is recorded much earlier in the day, so he'd probably not yet heard the real recording.

His radio show today will be telling. If Hannity doesn't walk back some of his comments today, then I don't think it will happen at all.

Now, being honest with you, even though Bundy DID intend to be saying that blacks have been injured by welfare maybe as much as by actual slavery, the problem is the choice of IMAGES he chose. The cotton picking theme, to matter the intent, is just not an image that can be overcome.

The most anyone will be able to say in Bundy's behalf, and I'm talking about major media outlets like Hannity and Rush, is that Bundy did a poor job of expressing his real concern for welfare slavery, and that he doesn't appear to have in his heart any animus toward any racial group, but that he chose really inappropriate words and images to convey his meaning.

Already that's too complicated an explanation to be able to overcome the LSM and their race hustlers.

Another problem, and I'm being honest here. Bundy came out in favor of full, open, unequivocal amnesty.

How do conservatives handle that?

Finally, none of this has anything to do with his losing his ranch and open range, grazing, and water rights. We should support his keeping his ranch, his freedoms, and the government getting its hands off all that western land.

It’s nice to see, but once again conservative squishes have revealed the real problem: us. It mattered not to me that Bundy lives in an alternate universe. ALL Americans are to be defended from federal overreach.

Also PRAY....pray that God will reveal the truth and open peoples eyes to the lies that are being told to us about EVERYTHING, that He will remove any and all things blocking the truth from coming out....and that we accept in faith and ask for His will to be done in all matters !!! Just ask for His help...

I think this is going to be a miss for the New York Times and the media spin machine. The full video is out and it exposes the selective editing by the Times and the other Government Media. The fact is, I am grateful for the story. It exposed more than a few timid “conservative” Republicans and the popular anchors on Fox. And sure helps winnow out the 2016 herd.

So the left wing statists and their media cohorts have taken an unsophisticated but well meaning elderly rancher, who's spent his life out on a range in the desert raising cows, turned him into a racist monster and are brandishing him at frightened feint hearted conservatives.

With the obvious intent of reversing their recent setback so they can continue their statist march through society taking what they want and dictating how everyone should live their lives.

And many stalwart conservatives (even here) are willing to oblige them by following the bouncing ball.

Is the NY Times going to edit it to put Bundy (and all conservatives) in a bad light? Of course. Does this make Bundy less of a crackpot? No. I watched the entire thing. This guy needs to just shut up already. He is an embarrassment and a gift to the corrupt liberal media.

So has all of the GOPe, all libertarians, and even some of the Tea Party.

The same characters have endorsed gay "marriage" and abortion, and are calling for dropping "social issues" from the GOP platform.

Those so-called "social issues" are MORAL issues, and I cannot and will not support candidates with no moral compass.

> Finally, none of this has anything to do with his losing > his ranch and open range, grazing, and water rights.

This is the crux of the matter, and everything else are distractions.

The man has DEEDED rights given him by the Territory/State of Nevada.

The Feral Gummint decided in 1946 to take possession of the land and in 1976 to start charging money for water and grazing rights.

Bundy refuses to play along.

The Feral Gummint response was to send a paramilitary tactical squad of about 200 heavily armed men with automatic weapons, sniper rifles, grenade launchers, and armored vehicles to steal Bundy's cattle, kill some of his cattle, destroy his water storage and fences, threaten to shoot and kill Bundy and his family and neighbors, and basically wreak havoc and terror on the locality.

The MSM has this information. So getting it to them won’t change a thing.

What we as American Patriots need to do is push back against the current trend to call everything anyone says about any minority as “racist”.

Hannity jumped on the Alinsky bandwagon so fast he probably knocked a few people off. Hannity is as big a coward as anyone else when it comes to cowering in fear of being called a racist; so much so that he had a knee jerk reaction to Bundy’s inarticulate expression of concern for the future of Black children by himself labeling Bundy a racist.

To me Hannity’s knee jerk statements were “ despicable”.

The left has succeeded in marginalizing Bundy and personalizing the issue.

Bundy is in mortal danger now. And the left has succeeded in making the whole issue about race.

Cliven Bundy is man who is more used to raising cattle and working hard to make a living. By his very language, he's not used to mincing words or being PC. If this is "crackpot" then I don't want to know normal.
